Regardless of what people think of blockchains, it's the necessary foundation for any agent governance. If not this protocol, then something in this direction.

Regardless of what people think of blockchains, it's the necessary foundation for any agent governance. If not this protocol, then something in this direction. The analogy I would use is the only thing reliably containing humanity is interstellar distances, and the equivalent for ASI would be cryptographic distances, where the only way to relate to anything safely will be via a crypto interface. Compute is the physics of an ASI's substrate, and cryptography is the only meaningful barrier we've been able to create in it so far.
